Two myths I think are true

As a Redhead, with a Redhead Sister, a Redheaded Son, and Redhead Niece and Nephew, I can tell you that Redheaded women have a nasty mean streak and temper. I can't say what causes it, but all the Redheads in my family and that I know have a fiery temper to go with the hair (myself included).

The other one is that I think Redheads are more sensitive to physical reactions. We bruise more easily. Scientifically proven, it usually takes more pain reducer to reduce pain for a redhead (dentists have to use more novocaine, hence your dentist story), and I think that makes Redheads also more passionate. We seem to feel things on a physical, good or bad, than more people.
